Sev eral large shots had passed through his hod', and Mr. Hatch lingered till Sunday morning, when he died. As yet there is no clue as to who the cowardly assassin is, but we are glad to hear that the citizens of the neighborhood are making every effort to find out the guilty one. Kaudall's Cbauces. Condensed from a Riehmond Dispatch Washington Telegram. " More than half of the Democratic members of the House are now here, and the fight over the Speakership increases in intensity of feeling. The friends of both Randall and Kerr ex press confidence in the strength of tneir respective candidates. Each arrival is immediately booked on "lie vide ir the other. Randall's in-uis stem more confident than iin.se of Kerr, and it looks, from de 3!"ntratiou to-night, as if Randall is t be successful. 1 he nrst formal ; declaration by a State delegation whs nude to night. The Pennsylvania delegation met, and resolved to sup port Randall and do anything proper t further his success. ' Both Ran dall and Kerr seem to depend upon ilif action of Southern members. Noire of the Southern members are here. Senator Gordon believes South ern members are pretty nearly equal ly divided between Randall and Kerr, but says any opinion. as to how they will finally decide is mere speculation. I'imar, who is counted for Randall, al who-it is supposed will exert vast influence with Southern members, is fx peeled to-morrow. Randall's friends Ny nhey can count ninety votes f-ure.

Mr. Wood in conversation sain that he regarded the scramble for tnis high place as very undignified, and he would not consent to be a party to it. Some of those who are ever ready to jump at conclusions assert that Mr. Wood will how throw his strength for Randall. The much greater probability is that his influ ence, whatever it may be, will be cast in favor of Kerr. Mr. Wood to-night desired your correspondent to state that his action in withdrawing his name was solely on his own volition, aad that he bad consulted with no one. He said that he had conversed with no. one on the subject of the committees, had made no pledges and received none, and that so far as he was concerned his friends were at perfect liberty to vote for any one they pleased for opeaser.

ITJETHODIST EPISCOPAL CONFER ENCE. Second Da) 'a Proeeedlnx of (be 39tli Auuoal Session of (he NorlUCaro Unit Conference ot the M. K Church South, The exceeding inclemency of the weath er yesterday morning interfered, no doubt. with the attendance of delegates and also of members of the congregation at the opening of the Conference. There were. however, a great many present, and before the proceedings had progressed the church was quite well filled, some fifteen more delegates having arrived since the close of the last sessiou and taken their seats on the floor. The exercises began promptly at 0 o'clock, Rev. Robert O. "Burton having taken the chair and announcing hymn No. 907 of the collection, "Lift tip your hearts to things above," which was sung by the assembled body, all standing, after which Rev. Mr. Burton offered up a lervent prayer. The Bishop presiding then took the chair, and the calling of the roll of clerical and lay delegates by Rev. Dr. Craven, the Sec retary, took place. Oa motion of Dr. Craven it was oi dered that the calling of the roll be here after dispensed with. The minutes of the first day's proceedings were then read and no amendments being offered, weie approved. The Bishop called upon the Chairman of the Missionary Board to come forward and receive a number of religious pamphlets by eminent divines of the church. The Bishop took occasion to make some remarks regarding their nature and the benefit to be derived from them by those for whom they were intended. On motion they were referred to the Mis sionary Board. Rev. A. H. Redford, Agent of the South ern Methodist Publishing House located at Nashville, Tenn., came forward and was introduced to the Conference. After mak ing an announcement concerning the busi ness that induced his visit, he took a scat in the body of the house. Rev. Dr. J. A. Duncan, President of Randolph Macon College, and Rev. VV. W. Duncan, Professor iu Worford College, Spartanburg, S. C, the former a member of the Virginia Conference of the M. E. Church, South, and the latter a member of the South Curolina Conference, approached the pulpit and were introduced to the Con ference by the presiding Bishop. They were invited to take seats upon the floor of the Conference. The consideration of the applicants for admission to Elder's Orders was then en tered into, they being the " probationers" of the fourth year. The Committee on Ex amination having reported favorably on the following names, they were admitted to Elder's Orders, viz: Revs. Frederick G. Swindell, Robert M. Brown, Jas. Willson and Edward Rowland. The Chairman of the Missionary Society announced that the Board were now ready to receive the missionary funds. The question "Who will remain on trial" after the first year? was then taken up. The ministers of one year's standing being called upon to give their reports of work done under their several charges, which were passed upon by the Conference. The reports and examination of the fol- owing gentlemen Being touna satisfactory, they were passed to Deacon's orders, viz: Revs. Lucien J. Holden, Lucius E. Stacy, H. W. F. Stamy, William II. Watkine. Revs. D. P. Goode and N. S. Norton, under the above question, were continued for trial. Revs. J. C. Smith and J. II. Cunniggim, who were called upon under the above ques- ion, were hot present, but were discon tinued by their own request as expressed by those representing them in the body. Rev. G. D. Bernheim, of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and Rev. J. B. Taylor, of the First Baptist Church, both of this city, approached the pulpit and were duly introduced to the Conference by the presid ing Bishop. The chairman of the Joint Board of Fi nance asked leave to make an announce ment, which was granted. The question of the admission of deacons of the third year into the fourth was then taken up ' The following gentleman having passed satisfactory examinations were ad mitred into l be fourth class: Revs. Jesse II. Guinn, Phillip Greeuing, T. A. Coon, W. C. Nor ' incut, B. F. Bumpass, Jonathan Sandford and Thos. W. Smith. Rev. T. P. England's character was' passed and he was continued in the third year.

Whittington was continued in the first year's class, and L. W. Pigott was discontinued at his own request. . Rv. Daniel A. Long, of the Virginia and North Carolina Christian Conference and Principal of the Graham High School, and also Rev. Simpson Jones, of the South Carolina Conference, were introduced by the Bishop to the Conference. Mr. Long, the Bishop stated, was the fraternal mes senger from the Christian Conference, and requested a few remarks from that gentleman. MOENING Mr. Long responded in a neat and fervent address, which was about as follows: I was chosen a fraternal messenger to your body from the Christian Conference of Virginia and North Carolina at our last meeting. We were glad to meet there the messenger from yonr Conference, uev. Dr. H. II. Gibbons, and we regretted the ab sence of the other messenger, Rev. Dr, Craven. We hope to meet your messengers at our next Conference, which meets in Salem, Forsyth county, in November next. Ours is a small body; we have only as many hundreds as you have thousands; forty churches and thirty ordained ministers ana not a D. D. among them. We have no colleges, and consequently we patronize our Methodist brethren, for we like tnem there is no paltry sectarianism among them, Your fraternal messengers last j'ear were the first ever sent to our Conference, and am the first ever sent to your Conference from ours. We claim km with the Aletno dif-t Episcopal Church. Mr. Long then went on to illustrate the connection, which he did in a very finished manner. His remarks were listened to with marked attention throughout and were highly appreciated. The Bishop replied, thanking him for the kind expressions he had uttered and assur ing him that they were fully reciprocated. On motion of Rev. H. H. Gibson, the Bishop was requested to appoint two fra ternal messengers from this body to the Methodist Protestant and Christian Confer- i nces. Rev. Dr. Craven read reports from Trinity College, Greensboro Female College and Davenport College, Institutions under the direction of the Conference. On motion, the reports were referred to the Coiiiuiittee on Education. On motiuii of Rev. Dr. Closs, the time of adjournment was extended half an hour. The Committee on the Publication of the Minutes reported unfavorably to their im mediate publication and suggested the 1st of January as the proper time. The report, on motion of Dr. Closs, was adopted, but afterwards a motion to recon sider was carried, when some discussion re garding the practicability of an immediate publication of the minutes was entered into. The previous motion was then put and carried. Rev. Dr. A. U. Redford. agent of the Southern Methodist Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., was given time by the Bishop to make a few remarks. Mr. Redford gave quite a history of the concern he represented ; its condition, finan' ciai and otherwise; its past prosperity and future prospects. He stated that the Pub- ishing House represented a capital of $500,- 000, while its assets outside of this were $300,000. He stated the circulation of the Soutliern Christian Adcocafe, published there, to be 8,000, and rapidly increasing. North Carolina, he said, was first on the list in amount of patronage bestowed on the Pun ishing House, and. 33 per cent, higher than that bestowed by Tennessee, the State in which the Publishing House was located. Mr. Redford's remarks were well received. The Committee on Puhlic Worship an nounced that the Rev. D. A. Long would preach in Front Street and Rev. W. C. Nor- ment in Fifth Street Church yesterday a1 71 o'clock. The hour of adjournment having arrived a hymn was sang, and after benediction by the Bishop, the body took a recess until this morning at 9 o'clock. TUB CONFERENCE. Pergonal Sketches ot Members. Rev.

Benediction by Rev. Wm. H. Bishop. TIio Fire Yesterday JTIornlue. Just after going to press yesterday morn ing the alarm of fire was sounded and was found to proceed from the large brick building on the southeast corner of Market and Second streets, belonging to the estate of the late John Brown, of which Mr. L. Mcginney is Administrator, and occupied on the first floor by Mr. G. C. W. Muller as a grocery store and by Mr. R. B. Burnett as a saloon, and on tne second floor by Dr. Jas. M. Eea as a dental office and Mr. Mul- er as a residence the third floor being used as a hall. The fire originated in the saloon of Mr. Burnett, and must have been burning for some time when discovered, which was a quarter after 3 A. M. as a clock in tbe room was noticed to have stopped at 12, a result which is supposed to have been caused by the heat. The firemen. were promptly on the spot, and by a wise precaution on the part of Chief En gineer Moore no door or window was allowed to be opened nntil the engines were in readiness to commence operations. The doors were then broken open, when a seething mass of smoke and flame burst from the saloon into the faces of the gal- ant firemen, who for a moment were driven back. They quickly rallied, how ever, and soon the entire lower floor of the building was deluged with water and the fire extinguished. Had any ventilation been given to the long pent-up and smoth ered flames before the engines were pre pared to combat them the doom of the building would have been sealed, but as it was, the fire was almost immediately brought under control. The damage to the stock of Mr. Muller was Very heavy, principally caused by water and smoke; also to his furniture and that of Dr. Kea, by removal, and by tbe heat and smoke. Mr. Burnett's stock was an entire loss. The building was also con siderably damaged. The insurance on the building amounted to $6,000, of which $2,000 was with Messrs. Taylor & Giles, : in the Royal, of London, $2,000 with Messrs. Atkinson & Man ning and $2,000 with the agency of Col. W. L. Smith. The stock was insured for $2,500 in the Home, of New York, and $1,000 in the Orient, of Hartford, both rep resented by Messrs. Taylor & Giles. No estimate can be formed at present of the loss on tbe building or Mr. Mullet's stock. Mr. Burnett's loss is estimated by him at from $300 to $350, upon which he had no insurance. The cause of the fire is not known. Another Ball. Next in order come the Red Men, who will give a grand ball, under the auspices of Wyoming Tribe, at City Hall on Wed nesday evening, the 22nd inst The Com mittee of Arrangements are Messrs. P. T. Dixey, S. A. Craig, J. T. Cumber, W. 8. Hewlett and J. J. Dray. The affair will no doubt be a very enjoyable one. " Keep he ball in motion !" WHOLE NO. 2,667. The Weekly Journal Is the. title of a novel newspaper juat started at Hickory, N. C, being, published and edited by two young ladies of this city, temporarily residing in that place. The contents are written instead of printed and the paper is very creditably gotten up in its peculiar style. The subscription price is $1 per year, and the proceeds will be donated to a fund for building an Episcopal Church at Hickory. The terms for advertising are very liberal, being only 5 cents a square per month, and several Wilmingtonians are numbered among its patrons in this depart ment. Among the advertisements is one for the recovery of a small lead pencil, for which a liberal reward will be paid on leav ing it at ''this office." The local depart ment is spicey. The authorities are "hauled over the coals" on account of the bad con dition of some of the streets and sidewalks, and mention is made of the cutting down of a big tree in front of " this office." The young ladies are engaged in a lauda ble enterprise and we wish them abundant success. Temperance Matters. We learn that ut a meeting of tbe Inde pendent Order of Rechabites, held Tuesday night, a Committee was appointed t make the necessary arrangements for holding meetings in the different wards of the city with the view of arousing the public on the subject of temperance. The first meeting of the series, we learn, will probably be held in the Fifth Ward next week, the place to be hereafter designated. There is a wide field for the labors of our temper ance friends and we hope they may be able to awaken an interest on the subject which will ultimately result in great good to the community. The colored people should also be moving in this matter. The Festival Continuance. Notwithstanding tbe dismal weather of last night, the ladies of St. Paul's Episcopal Church took in some $52 at their festival, but as many who intended to patronize them doubtless thought it more prudent to remain in-doors, another opportunity will be afforded them to-night, when the festival will be repeated at the City Hall. A nice dinner and ranch will also be served up there this afternoon from 12 o'clock to 3, of which all the epicures as well as the friends of the ladies will do well to make a note. They are invited. Sudden Death. Mrs. Caroline A. MacRae, relict of the late Gen. Alex. MacRae, died suddenly at her residence in this city Wednesday night ut 12 o'clock. She retired apparently io her usual health about 10 o'clock, but was soon after attacked with heart disease, from which she had previously suffered much, and from the effects of which she passed peacefully away at the hour mentioned, leaving a large circle of friends and rela tives to mourn their loss. Street Opened. The authorities have opened Seventeenth street from Market street to Pine Forest Cemetery. With a very little effort on the part of the Cemetery Committee a good drive can now be made from Market street to Pine Forest, which will be a great im provement over the old route for funerals, Range of Thermometer.
